You're listening to an I-Heart podcast.

Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick.

I'm the pastor of Elevation Church, and this is our podcast.

I wanted to thank you for joining us today.

Hope this inspires you.

Hope it builds your faith.

Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life.

Enjoy the message.

Our scripture today is found in March chapter 6, verse 1 through 6. I want to read this to you from our Savage Jesus series, which just keeps going. This is now the longest series that I've ever preached. I didn't intend it. I just got stuck in it.

But we've been just tracking this man named Jesus that we thought we knew so much about.

And he keeps shocking us and surprising us.

And we realize that we can spend our whole lives studying about him and only begin to glimpse

how great he is and also how revolutionary his life was in his time here on earth.

And so we want to pick up in Mark 6 today.

And we're in for a real treat today because we get to see Jesus take a trip back home.

And we get to see the response to his

ministry from those who knew him as a little boy.

And we'll get to evaluate that in the light of our own lives.

And I want to read you the scripture and then take some time teaching it today.

Very excited about this particular message.

The scripture says in Mark, chapter 6, verse 1,

Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples.
